The Illinois Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (I-NOMA) creates a platform of inclusion and growth to support all minority designers; as defined by ethnicity, gender, religion and sexual orientation. Our programming stems from two initiatives: Project Pipeline & Professional Development.
PROJECT PIPELINE
Our Project Pipeline programming is developed to empower under-served and under-represented young people to affect change in their communities through design.
After the initial introduction, the Pipeline continues to support and mentor students and young professionals as they matriculate through the rigors of becoming a licensed architect.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
With a focus on mentorship, continuing education, and developing minority leaders within our industry, programming under this initiative includes construction site tours, networking events, and continuing education seminars.
